LIZA Clews needs Mackay people with hearing difficulties to voice their concerns, so she can help them access the best community services.

Ms Clews is a community development officer with Deaf Services Queensland.

She said a meeting would be held on Tuesday at Mercury House, Wellington St, and the public was welcome to discuss services with her.

Ms Clews said she was passionate about making sure deaf and hearing-impaired people had access to what they needed because of her own experience.

"Both my parents are deaf and my brother is also deaf - I have two hearing siblings," Ms Clews said.

With her background living in a non-hearing household, Ms Clews is also a professional interpreter.

She said the main focus of the meeting on Tuesday was to discuss the Employee Assistance Fund, the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Deaf Services Queensland.

"We also want to increase awareness of such services as Auslan," Ms Clews said.

She said people who attended the meeting would help her with statistics and research into the area's demographics, as Deaf Services had regional offices only in Maryborough, Townsville and Cairns.

Ms Clews said she wanted to discover the needs of the area, so she could better help. She will be assisted by interpreter Shelley Salter.

Tony Moore, who is deaf and a member of the Mackay Deaf Club, said he was looking forward to meeting with Ms Clews and Ms Salter.

"This is very important to the deaf and hearing-impairment community in Mackay," Mr Moore said.

"We need a Deaf Services Queensland office in Mackay."

He said the office would offer a deaf or hearing-impaired person with help, like Auslan interpreting, employment, Australian sign language (Auslan) classes, information and referrals, independent living, deaf awareness training, support for children and families; and the National Relay Service Outreach.

Mr Moore said there were Deaf Services Queensland offices in Brisbane, Cairns, Maryborough, Townsville and Toowoomba.

"Why not in Mackay?" Mr Moore asked.

Mr Moore said he hoped the meeting would provide useful information, support and help with filling in forms.

The community meeting will be held at The Daily Mercury at Mercury House, 38 - 40 Wellington St, Mackay.

Times 6.30 - 8.30pm.

A walk-in service will be available 2 - 5pm with Ms Salter, to help with interpreting Centrelink meetings and doctor's appointments.
